Description

LIBRARY/DOORS OPEN 6.30pm

*EVENT START 7.00pm*

Perth’s inner city has historically been a space where LGBTIQASB+ culture and community has thrived, but this has often been in secret or despite surrounding social restrictions. From clubs and venues to protests and parades, explore the spaces that queer Perth has built and claimed as its own.

Join a panel of community ‘elders’ who remember – and sometimes even helped to shape – the spaces that have offered everything from safety and inclusion to sites of resistance for Perth’s LGBTIQASB+ community.

Panellists for this session include Bobby Fletcher, Guy Gomez, Baz Sioux and Lisa Baker. The session will be hosted by broadcaster, educator and current Talks Producer at RTRFM, Danae Gibson.

PRESENTED by Pride WA & The City of Perth Library
